Okay; I am assuming that your son's Gateway has a 802.11b card? What brand? 
Or is his connection internal, or USB?

How does he connect at school?

Mike, you're going at it the wrong way. They should replace both the 
Dell & the Gateway with Powerbooks.
Yea, what Dennis said.
And
1) Check Apple's kbase for info. There's some Airport->PC stuff there.
2) Tell your son to call his Gateway tech support and/or Microsoft to 
ask them for the proper settings.  Its their hardware/software that's 
"plug'n'play" afterall.

3) What Dennis said.
4) Goto 3.

FS: Powerbook G3 Firewire + Original Airport card

[FigurinBoxes2Go]

Happy Shopping Season!

I went overboard today!

So, I need to avail myself of one of my yearly "sale listings" and list some 
things that have not received a bite on the Swap List:



I have a working Powerbook Pismo I would like to sell.

It has a 400mhz speed processor and 256 mb of RAM. It runs Apple OS 9 on a 
4gb hard drive. The laptop is in good condition cosmetically; the LCD screen is 
in great condition. 

It also has a good battery, but no power adapter.



I also have a Original Airport Card. Tested + working, in fact, in the pismo 
above.

Make me offer(s), OFFLIST please,

K. Ballard
Athens Georgia

Re: Slightly OT: Wallstreet issue with Linux Network

[Timothy Domst]

I have a home network (G5, Wallstreet, iceBook, Linux, 16/600) and I 
still don't know exactly why servers show up or not, but all you have 
to do is find out the network addresses and type them in the "Connect 
to Server" box.  If you want to use ftp then type 
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED], if the linux server has appletalk then 
afp://, http:// for http server, smb:// for samba and so on.  You might 
have to put the port number on the end, like 
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:21.  You will need the passwords to get 
in, and the locations (192.168.1.90 is just for example) of each 
computer you want to get to, and the Mac hater needs to tell you that 
stuff.

Mike, you're going at it the wrong way. They should replace both the 
Dell & the Gateway with Powerbooks. The bottom line is that it is 
YOUR network and your sons are guests on it. They should not ask that 
you change your equipment to inferior equipment just because they 
made the bad choices and bought inferior systems.

Re: AlBook & Wacom Graphire @ startup ???

[Larry le Mac]

From: John McGibney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

In general USB ports on powerbooks are underpowered. It may not put out
enough power to power the tablet. Thus on waking it doesn't always give it
enough juice to ID the tablet. When you restart, USB items are checked 
later
in the process (after drive spinup) so more power is available to USB 
items.
It's when sleeping, it's always after a shut down / new startup.

Like I said in my first post. My external USB2 2.5 inch HD works perfectly
when connected to a single USB port on my G4 tower. But needs to be
connected to 2 USB ports on my TiBook in order for it to work. The
manufacturer for the drive enclosure stated that many notebook computers
have problems powering the drive from a single USB port so they enclosed a
special USB cable that takes power from 2 ports and passes data through one
port.

I have to use an external power supply or powered hub for it to work from my
AlBook as there is only one USB port per side and the cable jumper isn't
long enough to reach 2 ports.

I'm sure that PowerBooks meet minimum standards but I'm also sure that
desktop models have more than the minimum power available as they're more
likely to have multiple items plugged in.

Well when that happened to my 3400 I just had to solder the contacts
where the power adapter plugs in to the logic board. 

...but...  I don't know if I'd recommend taking apart an icebook that
far.  I had a G3/800 iBook that had the logic board failure after the
one year warrenty ended but before they issued the recall. 


I had to take apart a iBook a couple weeks ago (14" G3 900Mhz) and it
wasn't too bad.  Just took a long time and very careful layout and
labeling of screws, probably at least 40.  The user had broken off the
tip of a power adapter inside the laptop.

Slightly OT: Wallstreet issue with Linux Network

[Nils Mueller-Scheessel]

Greetings,
at work we have a Linux server to which a bunch of PCs is connected. 
Sometimes, I work with my Wallstreet PB (with OS 10.3.5) there and I 
would like to access the server. While WWW browsing and connecting to 
the server is not a problem, I am not able to even see the different 
shares on the server. On my PB the server folder appears to be simply 
and completely empty (this is not an issue when I use a PC, so it 
does not seem to be because of missing privileges).
Because the administrator is not really interested in macs or in 
solving my problem, I would be eager to hear if anybody has a clue 
what the problem is and comes up with an easy solution which I could 
present to our administrator.

Many thanks in advance,

Re: Cisco; was: Wallstreet not seeing Belkin wireless card

[Kenneth Vann]

Hi David. I have just updated my wireless FAQ and there are links to the
Cisco drivers on that page. http://home.earthlink.net/~kjvann/

Cisco 340 & 350 and some OEM's of them will work under OS 9 and OSX.

As far as I can tell, Cisco is the only vendor still updating drivers for
the 802.11b 16 - Bit PCMCIA cards & OSX.

All other vendors have stoped developement.

Startup is a different matter. USB specs call for starting up with

diver issues.

That said; I had lots of issues with OS9 & USB. Many a device, external 
power or not, would not discover unless it was existing at bootup. 
Others STALL the boot if it's plugged in. [A ?Compucable? iMac docking

enough juice to ID the tablet. When you restart, USB items are checked later
in the process (after drive spinup) so more power is available to USB items.

I have a USB 2 mini hard drive that needs 2 USB connections to work on my
TiBook, yet works with ony one on my G4 tower. It has a special cable just
for this.

Try unplugging the tablet and replugging it after awakening and having it
fail to work. Or for a long term solution try using a powered hub for the
tablet, it should provide the needed power for proper ID.
